It’s safe to say that March was yet another good month for new music, and with the fresh releases we got in the last week of the month, the playlists continue to be filled with new jams. Check out some of our favorite new drops from the final week of March.
TWILIGHT ZONE – ARIANA GRANDE
With six new songs included in eternal sunshine deluxe: brighter days ahead, Ariana treated us to a trip through her different eras and reminded us that Ari will always be that pop girl.
MS. PAKIPOT – ADIE
It’s an Adie track, of course the emotions are going to give.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR – D4VD
A high-energy, anthemic, and relatable pop declaration brimming with urgency and emotional intensity, the track captures the feeling of being unseen by a crush.
AYOS LANG – JANINE BERDIN
Janine’s latest bop is the energy we need to take in our dating life. If it isn’t meant to be, then okay, life moves on.
SUNSHINE & RAIN… – KALI UCHIS
With her smooth and sensual vocals, Kali puts into focus the need to find that special someone who will be there for you through all the seasons.
NEED YOU AROUND – GRENTPEREZ
The real ones who’ve been there since his YouTube cover days know how big of a deal this is with the release of his debut album, Backflips in a Restaurant. The LP embodies a sonic playground, from tracks his day-one fans will resonate with to their core, to offering a newly explored range from the vocalist.
STUNNER – TEN
Of course TEN’s first win as a solo artist would come from one of his best solo songs yet.
GBAD – JACKSON WANG
With a tongue-in-cheek edge, Jackson embraces the reality that setting boundaries may make you the villain in someone else’s story. The song sheds Jackson’s people-pleasing tendencies, offering a sharp reflection on the uncomfortable price of personal growth. An unapologetic, alt-R&B cut, the track pairs Jackson’s unmistakable vocals with laid-back, jazzy production.
KARMEN – ZAE
The Femme Fatale energy in this track is insane. Zae is out for blood on that cheating ex, and as she should.
DEATH WISH – LYN LAPID
It kinda needs to be talked about how Lyn Lapid has some impressive productions in her songs. Diva knows how to make a bop.
KILALA – ACE BANZUELO
A dreamy, melancholic pop track, the song revels in romantic longing: those heart-fluttering moments that often escape definition. Set against a backdrop of minimal guitars, gentle synths, and electronic flourishes, the track delivers a vocal performance that is bright and hopeful, yet punctuated with an emotionally incisive tone.
IT WAS A MOMENT – SOS
SOS’s second studio album, It Was A Moment, presents a lighter and less fussy side of the group in many ways, removing the proverbial chip on the shoulder. Technically, it’s as exacting as one can expect from the group—more sonically expansive and experimental, primarily thanks to the beautifully added sheen of synths and keys to classic SOS anthemic guitars—but thematically, It Was A Moment sees members Seña, Andrew, Anjo, King, and Ram become more deliberate spectators of others as much as themselves while keeping the interior feel and unfading anxieties of their first album, Whatever That Was.
K – ELIZA MATURAN
Yeah, Eliza continues to hit with the emotional bangers.
YIPPEE-KI-YAY – KESHA AND T-PAIN
Okay cuntry music.
TANGA – KAIA
Teaming up with Gen Z hitmaker Zack Tabudlo, who produced and composed the track, KAIA delivers another banger that blends pop confection with a lightness and ‘90s R&B flair. The song centers on a love that borders on naiveté, a relatable feeling that some people go through at some point in their life. Balancing a humorous, light vibe with a sense of introspection, the song tells the all-too-familiar story of choosing to ignore the red flags in a relationship just to hold on a little longer.
ROUGH LANDING – PIXIE LABRADOR
Oof, right in the feels with this track about realizing that you’re not the one.
PANSAMANTALA – PRESS HIT PLAY
The vocals??? They were really feeling this one.
PHYSICAL REMIX – DUA LIPA AND TROYE SIVAN
It took us five years, but we finally got the remix, and Dua and Troye sound good together on the chorus. Now if only we get an original song from these two divas.
STAR BELOW – EVAN AND PH-1
EVAN, formerly known as PLUMA, teams up with pH-1 for a song that captures the exhilarating moment of locking eyes with someone in the audience during a live performance. The track’s immersive soundscape, infused with raw emotion and wonder, takes listeners on an unforgettable journey. The vocoder-infused chorus and electronic drop heighten the sense of euphoria, leaving a cinematic impression that lingers long after the song ends.
